Equity

The Equity Office at the Law Society of Saskatchewan is committed to both eliminating discrimination and harassment and promoting equity in the legal profession.

Through our confidential email and toll-free phone line, we assist individual lawyers, articling students and support staff who ask for help in resolving complaints of discrimination or harassment by listening to complaints, assessing the nature of the complaint, and informing the individual about potential measures for dealing with the complaint. When resolution is required, complaints will be referred to an independent mediator.

The Equity Office has developed policies to implement equity in the workplace. Please click on the links below for model policies and guidelines on the following issues:

If you have questions about establishing or maintaining a discrimination-free work environment, or questions relating to the improvement of equity and diversity in the workplace, please contact the Equity Office. Call toll free: 1-866-444-4885 or email equity@lawsociety.sk.ca.

Please note:

This office is not a lawyer referral service and cannot provide legal advice.

A call to the Equity Office is not a complaint to the Law Society.

The Equity Office reports only anonymous statistics to the Law Society, with the exception of information about the misappropriation of funds.
